Miss Vallie Greer of California San Saba-Brady Farmers Careful Of Conservation Of the 1,250 operators of farms and ranches in the San Saba-Brady 'Soil Conservation district, about 250, or some 20 percent are cooperating with the SCS, John D. Landers, work unit conservationist, reports. "They are slowly feeling their Landers explains. "Many of them feel that it is an experiment but we of the SCS think that the work is past the experimental stage.

In our plans to restore the fertility of the soil and the grasses of the pastures, 'we try to -work with nature. "In our grass restoration program we are using only KR bluestem and weeping love grass, which are not native to this area. In other words, we are trying to help nature do a quicker The many species of grasses native to the section might be divided into three groups. The tall grasses, some of the best being big and little bluestem, and Indian grass. The medium grasses such as the gramas and love grasses, and the short grasses which included the curley mesquite and buffalo.

"Few of the present generation of farmers anl stockmen remember the time when this section was covered by the tall grasses," Landers continues, "any grass which called buffalo or mesquite. People are gradually learning more about grasses and the boys who are studying agriculture in high school now are going to know a lot more when they begin farming and ranching. There are a few small patches of the tall grasses still to be found a cousin of Dr. Baxter Greer, and her nephews, Wayne and Charles Sebasta, of Bryan, Texas were guests at the Presbyterian manse this week. Also, Mr.

and Mrs. Melvin Alsbuny of Dallas worshipped at the New Hope Presbyterian church last Sunday and were guests of Dr. and Mrs. Greer for the day. They are friends of long standing and formerly lived in San An'tonio.

this area. The big bluestem, which was one of the most 'palatable, is almost all gone. Landers states that the largest patch he has been able to find since he began working in this conservation district, is a narrow strip about 100 yards long, on the John Coffey place near Richland Springs. This stretch of grass is protected by a rocky ledge and is gradually spreading. Much of the soil in the sandy- sec; ion of the district became so poor that is was abandoned as worthless many years ago.

The SCS has analyzed some of this dirt and found it so deficient in plant food that palatable grass could not grow on it until fertilizer had been applied. Some few of the farmers in the area remember helping clear and plow the land, turning the good grass under. Now they are working to again put it hack to a semblance of what it was before it was plowed up. Soil "mining" ana overgrazing has put the land in the present condition. A statement from the Journal of Wildlife Management, Vol.

II No. 4, October, 1947, by W. P. Taylor and H. C.

Hahn, has this to say about range conditions: "During the summer of 1867, stockmen in the San Saba and neighboring counties reported grass everywhere from 1 to 3 feet high. These ranges, according to the would have supported 300, and in some cases perhaps 500 cattle to the square mile. From 500 cows to the square mile in 1867, the carrying capacity decreased to about 64 cows to the square mile near the turn of the century. A test conducted from 1924 to 1929 by Substation '4 of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Sonora, indicated a stocking of from 50 to 78 animal units to each 640 acres. The 'was steadily deteriorating, showing an over heavy grazing pressure.

Present recommendations are that the rate of stocking with livestock should, or must, be reduced to 35, or perhaps even 25, animal units, per square mile, in order to permit the recovery of the rajige and its proper maintenance, for "It seems like a slow process," Landers concludes, "but we hope to have 75 percent of the operators lined up before too many years have gone by." SAN SABANS HOME FROM CLUB ROUNDUP County Agent A. B. Ford returned from -College Station last Friday. Ford atended the seate wide 4-H club roundup held at Monday through Friday of last week.

IS. Hoskinson Month of June Proclaimed National Dairy Month In view of the fact that June has been proclaimed National Dairy Month, Dr. Geo. W. Cox, state health officer, urges that 'with the more extensive use of milk, both producer and consumer be concerned as to its quality.

The use of clean safe milk is a health measure. Local, interest in improved methods of producing -wholesome milk has increased greatly in the past two decades and the striking advance in milk control has been responsible for the enormous saving in infant life. Milk is perishable and especially during hot weather. To insure milk of good quality requires cleanliness, sterile utensils, protection against flies, careful bottling and maintenance at low temperature. The presence in fresh milk of large numbers of bacteria, due to insanitary methods of production is a health hazard.

Dr. Cox added, the diseases may be transmitted through milk are tuberculosis, typhoid scarlet fever, diphtheria, septic sore throat, undulant fever, diarrhea and enteritis. Numerous milk-borne outbreaks of disease occur every year in this country from the use of milk that might have been same with proper care. Texas farmers own close to tractors. 'From this number, estimates show that 21 million gallons of gasoline is wasted each year in Texas alone.

That means just 100 gallons a tractor. Misses Cherry and Jerry Simpson of Llanci were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Sloan Pool during rodeo, week at their new home in the Sloan community. Mrs.

Pool is the former Patsy Marshall of Llano. Miss Nancy Sellman had as rodeo guest in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howiard Sellman, one of her school friends, Miss Ova Jean McDaniel of Algerita. accompanied to Kan Saba by his parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Arnold Langham, who returned' to their home after a few days visit. A thorough grain bin cleaning is important to keep out the insects. Before storing any grain harvested this year, clean out and spray your grain bin to kill the insects that are already, there, and keep the rest out while the grain is in storage. The best time to cut hay to get the most out of it is before it is mature and has become coarse and stemmy.

'For instance, Sudan and johnsongrass are most nutritious if cut as soon as the first seed heads begin to form. many loses its flavor and food value if kept too long, even in the refrigerator. Add salad dressing just before serving in order not to wilt the leaves. Mrs. Mamie Callahan return- 1 ed home last Wednesday from'a pleasant visit with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr.
